Are exporters more environmentally friendly? A re-appraisal that uses China's micro-data
Pei, Jiansuo; Sturm, Bodo; Yu, Anqi - 2019
Is a firm's ability to export an important determinant of environmental performance? To answer this question, we construct a unique micro dataset that merged two rich firm-level datasets for China for 2007. When combining this new dataset with well-received empirical specifications, we found...

Endogenous Firm Heterogeneity, ICT and R&D Incentives
Cequera, Daniel; Klein, Gordon J. - 2008
Firm heterogeneity explains the productivity driven selection mechanism that determines aggregate productivity growth within industries. This paper empirically demonstrates that ICT has a robust impact on firm heterogeneity only when ICT is used intensively and jointly with specific ICT...

International trade and the transmission of temperature shocks
Osberghaus, Daniel; Schenker, Oliver - 2022
We examine how the adverse impacts of weather shocks are distributed through the trade network. Exploiting a rich, theoretically derived, fixed effects structure, we find significant negative short-run effects of high temperature on exports. A month with an average temperature above 30 êC...

Do climate policies lead to outsourcing? Evidence from firm-level imports
Rottner, Elisa - 2023
Rising energy prices might lead to adjustments along the supply chain and make firms outsource energy …-intensive processes. This could lead to carbon leakage. I provide empirical evidence whether energy price-induced offshoring occurs using … firm-level data on energy use, imports, and material purchases. I document that import shares in German industry have …

International trade and the adaptation to climate change and variability
Stephan, Gunter; Schenker, Oliver - 2012
This paper has three messages mainly, which are observed in a simple model of climate change, international trade and regional adaptation. First, trade can be viewed as a kind of adaptation to climate change and variability, as trade can help to reduce direct impacts of global climate change on...

Terms-of-trade and the funding of adaptation to climate change and variability: An empirical analysis
Schenker, Oliver; Stephan, Gunter - 2012
This paper analyses the interplay between international trade, regional adaptation and North-to-South transfers for funding adaptation within the framework of a dynamic computable gen-eral equilibrium model, where impacts of climate change depend on changes in precipitation and temperature. If...

The EU decarbonisation roadmap 2050: What way to walk?
Hübler, Michael; Löschel, Andreas - 2012
We carry out a detailed CGE (Computable General Equilibrium) analysis of the EU Decarbonisation Roadmap 2050 on a macroeconomic and on a sectoral level. Herein, we study a Reference scenario that implements existing EU policies as well as 3 unilateral and 3 global climate action scenarios. We...
